"C'est (Linda) une faiseuse d'images. Elle se projette, sans jamais se mettre à la place du photographe."
Dominique Issermann, French Elle, 2003
"In fact, she’s the one who worked the hardest and cared the most and who always gave more than anyone else."
Paul Cavaco
"The reason she's a favorite, is that she's a brave, creative woman who is totally open-minded about what you're trying to do. She helps you bring out your own creativity."
Mary Greenwell (Vogue UK)
“She’s extraordinarily beautiful and extraordinarily photogenic, and she…she…sparkles in front of the camera. I don’t know how else to say it. When she smiles, it’s very inspiring for me.”
Steven Meisel
“The hocus-pocus that happens in front of a camera is an observable and distinct phenomenon, but very hard to describe. As I watch her being photographed, it occurs to me that it’s like the beauty of math, the art of fractions. She can curl her lip in 7,000 different ways, and it’s somehow riveting. One of the biggest misconceptions about modeling is that its practitioners are required merely to show up and look pretty. In reality, a great model has opinions and style and ideas all her own, plus a desire to participate in the creative process. Evangelista, as everyone who has worked with her will tell you, has got the killer instinct.”
Jonathan Van Meter
"With her there is such a devotion to the job. She's creative, artistic, original. We always think together, sometimes suffer together, to get the best picture. I feel I could work with her for six months and it would never be boring."
Peter Lindbergh (Vogue UK)
